Serious question: do New Yorker's not know that 24hr gas stations and convenience stores exist everywhere else?

Bodegas are literally just gas stations without the gas, IDK why NYC thinks they're the only city in America where you can go to a convenience store at 2 a.m

Also the thing where they'll talk about how "diverse" the staff at Bodegas are and how that makes them special, as if every 7/11 outside the North East is exclusively staffed by white coal miners.
